Got the knife today. I really dig the look of it. It is very close to my DT ITK in profile. The grind reminds me of the Zakuri that I had, which is a good thing, as I pretty much knew how it would cut before ever doing so. I did slice up a room temp potato, very easy, no sticking, not surprising given the grind. I do really like knives ground like this as they feel like they separate food rather than glide through it and it's nice to have that in stainless as the only gripe I had with my zakuri was the reactivity of the cladding. Very cool knife so far.

Yeah. I will be I guess. Ive tried to use them side by side as the itk is the closest knife I've got as far as the profile and balance goes. I really dig the tanaka a lot. Bit I can tell how much work must have gone in to it. Everything is nicely rounded. It really is a great workhorse of a knife.

hehe, they're all out of stock now. i just hope who ever bought them up don't freak out when they see that OOTB it has crap fit & finish and needs lots of stone work. the stock handle is not bad though if you like d shape which i dont, except the one on shig.
